The fortunes of war are as fickle as ever in PvP, as HuK takes out NaNiWa 2 - 0.

PvP and MLG are two components that generally make some amazing games, and HuK and NaNiWa are two players who have never failed to disappoint. Game one was essentially a build order win for HuK as the Canadian protoss opened fast Twilight Council into Blink while NaNiWa went for fast Colossus.

The second game is where it gets interesting. HuK opens two gate proxy. NaNiWa defends with a chronoboosted zealot and probes until his stalkers come out, at which point he counters at HuK's main. Meanwhile, HuK's additional zealots kill all of NaNiWa's probes and begin working on his buildings. NaNiWa is left with one stalker microing against two zealots as he picks off HuK's remaining probes one by one. The game ends when NaNiWa's hero stalker, one hit away from dying, tries too hard to kill HuK's last remaining probe, also one hit away from dying, and is successfully attacked by one of HuK's zealots. GG.

NaNiWa's tournament is done, but HuK moves on to play Startale's PartinG, another sure-to-be-epic PvP.
